Day 1002 : Small actions, big impact

Lets take a break from cheese for a moment to discuss an awesome event taking place on Monday eve.

So what is this event?

It's a public art project led by New York based artist Yazmany Arboleda along with a team of Afghani artists designed to gift 10,000 pink ballons to Kabul locals. Arboleda's work has been featured in WWD, ABC, Huffington Post and he was recently selected as one of the GOOD 100. He's brought his balloon project to Bangalore, Nairobi and Yamaguchi, but this is the first time that anyone in the world can take part.

So what happens Monday evening?

You get to participate in this awesome global art project with the 10,000 Balloons Pop up at Ludlow Studios. We'll write and sign personal messages for Kabul, snap portraits of each other and take over an entire swath of the WeBelieveinBalloons.com mural. Secure your spot at the pop up, balloons to share with friends and a place in the cultural city of a history. 10,000 Balloons is presented by Imagination in Space, Ludlow Studios, House of Horology, Streetwater and Paul Zepeda.

For $10 you get to participate and receive seven free balloons, so grab your tickets here: http://10000balloons.splashthat.com/

SO WHAT IS FROMAGICAL?

Well, that is a good question!

Fromagical is meant to show you that cheese can be utterly magical! It is to be a mix of cheese consulting -- do you need to plan a cheese platter for your next cocktail party? Are you scared of going up to the cheese counter? Do you need help navigating what's what? Did you want someone to come into your home and give you an informative but totally fun lecture on cheese and different types?? Need ideas for recipes with a particular cheese? Want to know what sort of cheese to buy your boss? Your parents? Your boyfriend or girlfriend? Or wanting to know what sort of drink pairs perfectly with that cheese you bought at the Greenmarket?

You've come to the right place!

I am here to help -- your very own personalized cheese consultant.

About Me

By day, I run an art gallery and am very passionate about bringing fine art to people who appreciate it and who wake up in the morning to a smile on their face when they look at the new painting on their wall. In my free time, apart from marathon training, I spend as much of it as possible, eating, learning and experimenting with cheese, cooking, wine and spirits tasting, and well anything involved with food and wine.
